In Memory of Mr. Aten

It was so sad to see the flag at half-staff and flowers at the corner of the crosswalk at the school this morning in memory of Mr. Aten.

Our neighbor said so eloquently "Mr. Jeff Aten from Sandy Ridge passed away yesterday. He collapsed on the campus of Marvin Ridge High School while running yesterday evening.
Mr. Aten touched every student and family at Sandy Ridge. He stood out at the crosswalk in front of the school directing traffic and shepherding our children in and out through all kinds of weather. He taught all the students computers and keyboarding. He was the student council advisor and founded the science olympiad. He coached volleyball and lacrosse at the high school where his daughter is a junior. This will be a hard time for the Sandy Ridge and Marvin Ridge community."
